Federal Court Rules That DC Punished Pro-Life Protesters More Harshly Than BLM "Protesters"

This case only deals with punishments for "defacement" -- "chalking" messages into the street.

As for punishments for violent "protests," I have a feeling I know who was arrested simply for gathering without a permit, and who was arrested for throwing soda cans filled with piss at the cops.

And yet, I bet the non-assaulting protesters got more punishing sentences. Go figure! How did that happen?

For now, a court has at least recognized that pro-life protesters were targeted by DC for disparate treatment.

Washington, D.C., unfairly enforced its "defacement" ordinances by dealing more harshly with pro-life protesters than with Black Lives Matter activists, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday.
"In the summer of 2020, thousands of protesters flooded the streets of the District to proclaim 'Black Lives Matter,'" the court wrote in its decision, obtained by Fox News. "Over several weeks, the protesters covered streets, sidewalks, and storefronts with paint and chalk. The markings were ubiquitous and in open violation of the District’s defacement ordinance, yet none of the protesters was arrested."
However, during the same summer in August, D.C. police arrested two pro-life protesters "for chalking 'Black Pre-Born Lives Matter' on a public sidewalk," the court also wrote.

I sure hope the file another lawsuit for arrests for assaults.

We'll have to wait and see about that.

Hi everyone! It's good to be back!

Thank you cobs for the break!

25 In NYC BLM rioters got $10k each for rightfully being detained and repelled as you would any violent terrorist group. So thr next step should be these folks, who did nothing wrong and proved discrimination, getting at least $100k.

While i don't like tax payer money going for lawsuits that should be paid out by those committing ther crimes (like the mayor and police chief who made discrimination a policy) it should be used in liberal cities to bleed them of tax dollars.

43 Just got back from the DMV. The state can't keep this place staffed for some reason, forcing citizens to form a line as early as 4:30 am to guarantee you're seen. Got there at 5:30 am and we were 3rd in line. Opens at 8.

After the 2nd drive test, some guy with a state employee badge had showed up at 9:30 with two randos. One of the randos gets his drive test before us, even though we were next and had been there for hours. They were telling people since 9 am to "take a number, but you might not be seen," yet some POS bureaucrat can show up at 9:30 and test his 50+ y/o employee immediately, only to see him fail. Dude looked like a former prisoner, apparently needing a license for his new job.

Not sure who I should be more upset with- the asshole who showed up at 9:30 to get seen immediately or the drive tester who accommodated him.

55 The only people prosecuted for felony riot in Portland have been Proud Boys.

OTOH, a well-known Antifa "activist" is facing trial next month on two felony riot counts, plus a couple of misdemeanors, for bear-spraying an unarmed woman wearing a sun dress at a riot. Another Antifa "activist" filmed the assault, and immediately uploaded it to the internet, so it's kind of hard to deny that it happened.

She made the mistake of doing this in a suburban county, and the prosecutors definitely intend to make an example out of her.

So the left (blacks in particular) can do the crimes and not be arrested, Christian whitey needs to get their arrest count up ... so they have to arrest them for minor infractions, and the sentencing needs to match the black violence sentences.

That there is your "disparate outcome" law.

100 To make Ace happy, I'm told the Target CEO semi-apologized in his quarterly earnings call today (secondhand; I did not listen to this call myself) for foisting Querty+ stuff on the public, and said Target will tone it down in the future, in hopes customers won't stay mad at them.

Two other avenues available: Civil rights training & consent decrees.

Force DotGov employees who violate civil rights to undergo courses in the Constitution. ( this would be illegal if forced on a citizen, but government agents are acting in a capacity that voids that protection.)

Consent decrees; preventing police departments from enforcing political diktat. The Left fucking loved consent decrees in the 90's that prevented cops from arresting gangs, so they can't complain now.

Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at August 16, 2023 12:50 PM (xTRSc)

245 There is a law which allows people to sue government officials who use the pretense of law to violate people's Constitutional rights: 42 USC 1983. If you read that law you'll find the operative text is identical to the criminal statute 18 USC 242. So people who have done something so egregious as to be sued, have also violated federal criminal law. They don't get arrested for their crimes because the DOJ isn't going to prosecute anyone for trampling our rights.

My idea is that when filing a 1983 civil suit, that we point out in the suit that the actions we are complaining about are probable cause a crime was committed, and ask the judge to issue bench warrants for the 1983 civil suit defendant's arrest based on that probable cause. Nothing I would like to see more than the arrest of Meritless Garland and the director of the ATF for the crimes they are actually committing.

287 253 239 My Uncle Bill was sent to Hawaii for jungle warfare training. One of the small islands at the time was perfect, simply overgrown. And they sent him straight off to Iwo, which is as close to a jungle as is the dark side of the Moon.
----------------
Yep. My dad spent 33 days on Iwo as a Company Commander. The thing that kept haunting him in his last days was he couldn't remember all the men that were wounded or killed during that time. After 3 days on the line he had to replace better than 50% of his rifle company with green Marines. They were issued new rifles in the rear and their first task was cleaning the cosmoline off the rifles. And then it was back to the line for another 3 days. This cycle repeated over and over again. The recruit replacements never had any small unit training. They just got lucky or slaughtered.

299 Legal representatives for the Tuohy family now claim that Oher tried to blackmail them for $15 million prior to the lawsuit by threatening to go public with the story.

“Over the years, the Tuohys have given Mr. Oher an equal cut of every penny received from ‘The Blind Side,’” attorney Marty Singer told TMZ Sports.

“Even recently, when Mr. Oher started to threaten them about what he would do unless they paid him an eight-figure windfall, and, as part of that shakedown effort refused to cash the small profit checks from the Tuohys, they still deposited Mr. Oher’s equal share into a trust account they set up for his son,” he added.

Singer further charged that Oher had been dropped by other lawyers until he “found a willing enabler and filed this ludicrous lawsuit as a cynical attempt to drum up attention in the middle of his latest book tour.”

358 Bringing back stuff from overseas. First trip to Vietnam I brought back an SKS rifle. Nothing heroic, just a little wheeling and dealing amongst fellow S2 types. I turned it over to one of the offspring. Talked to him awhile back, brought up the rifle, and told him to make sure the bring back papers were still in the cleaning gear hole in the stock. He calls me back, faded beyond recognition, mimeographed.

Yeah, it's 40 years old at this point.

A MiG-23 is not gonna be a cheap bird to fly around in. Comparable in fuel burn to an F-16.

Yep.

I was pretty sure it was going to be shit when they named the actress who plays the sexy sizzling hot lawyer slash surprise love interest from the book.

A very big boned real life BLM activist. Not a good sign.

Plus our hero has been sidelined and already had to promise his teen daughter that he would Do Better. Disney owns FX. Raylan will be drinking blue milk from a fat disgusting teat next.

Ralph Nader was one of the 2 people Johnny Carson refused to let on his show

the other was Richard Ney, a creep actor that married the 12 years older Greer Garson

and I love Greer and even made a piece of furniture for her
She had the penthouse of a Dallas building

but marrying that creep was weird
